Once upon a time, T.I. had street cred. These days, the only street he’s ruling is Robertson Blvd.

Redefining the term odd couple, the 28-year-old rapper joined comedienne Kathy Griffin in Hollywood yesterday (March 3) during production of her hit reality show. The unlikely on-screen BFFs enjoyed an afternoon of shopping and sight-seeing before chilling curbside with some street peformers.

T.I. will begin serving a year in jail later this month for two gun felonies. Needless to say, this photo-op with Hollywood’s most famous D-list star will do wonders for his popularity with the boys in the slammer.
